Kerry Washington at The Tillman Story Premiere

At this week’s premiere of The Tillman Story — a documentary on NFL player turned soldier Pat Tillman and his family’s quest to find out the truth about his death in Afghanistan — director Amir Bar-Lev spoke about being ignored by the U.S. military. “We made very strong overtures to General McChrystal and … there is only one person in the military leadership who would speak with us and that was General Philip Kensinger — the guy who retired, the guy they scapegoated. I can’t speak as to why General McChrystal wouldn’t speak to us. But I will say that he ought to be a real man and admit that he was part of a cover-up and that he helped perpetrate a cover-up, and give a genuine apology to the Tillmans.” For more frank talk from famous people, click through our Party Lines slideshow.
